What does it do?

Carbamide peroxide is a compound formed by the combination of hydrogen peroxide and urea, used in earwax removal medications. This ingredient helps to soften the unnecessary earwax in the ear, facilitating its removal.

Carbamide peroxide releases oxygen while decomposing in the ear, softening and breaking down earwax. This process assists in earwax removal and contributes to maintaining cleanliness within the ear.
